About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for dogs is truly what I love to do. I went to school to become a veterinary technician and worked in veterinary clinics for many years, giving me hands-on experience with animals in both routine and medical-care settings. I now work full-time from home for an animal rescue in Minnesota, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. With the exception of the occasional quick trip to the store or errand, I am home and available to keep your pet company, give them attention, and maintain their normal routine. My dogs definitely rule the house, and they enjoy having other dogs around to play with and keep them company. I have a dog-friendly home where visiting pups can enjoy plenty of attention and companionship. I am experienced and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I am also comfortable with pets who need a little extra care, including special diets, medications, senior care, and other medical or routine needs. Because of my veterinary and animal rescue background, I understand that every pet is different. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, needs, and preferences so they can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Your pet will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and love. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I would be happy to provide that peace of mind while you're away. I want every guest to feel right at home! To keep our household happy and comfortable, I welcome dogs under 30 lbs of all ages. For my medium and large guests, I ask that they be calm seniors who will enjoy a relaxed environment and vibe well with my resident pups I work from home during the week, so I am home with the dogs throughout the workday. I am also home on the weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide consistent care and attention. My typical day starts around 6 AM and usually winding down for bed around 10 PM. Throughout the day, the dogs receive regular attention, companionship, and care while I work. They are let outside to our fenced area for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air about every two hours, and usually even more often depending on their needs. Because I work from home, your pet will not be left alone for long periods of time. I am able to keep an eye on them throughout the day, maintain their normal routine, and give them plenty of attention and bathroom breaks. I have a fully enclosed outdoor dog area with a roof that is accessible directly from one of the doors of my home, allowing the dogs to safely go outside for potty breaks and fresh air in all types of weather. Inside, the dogs have a good size home to explore and plenty of space to relax, play, and spend time with my resident dogs. My dogs range in size from about 10 lbs to 120 lbs, so I am comfortable with dogs of many different sizes and personalities. I am happy to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any other care instructions you provide. Dogs are also welcome on the furniture in my home, so if your pup is used to lounging on the couch, they can feel right at home here! My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while maintaining the routine they are accustomed to at home.

“Amanda was great with Sammy! She has a fenced in backyard, took him outside for walks, and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. She was always quick to respond to my texts and was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Her two dogs are very friendly and Sammy seemed to very much enjoy his time with Amanda and her pups. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

Pet sitting fits well with my routine, and I enjoy being able to spend quality time with animals while balancing my studies. Our home is located on a quiet farm, providing a peaceful setting where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of fresh air. I make each pet's safety and comfort my top priorities by following their normal routine for feeding, exercise, and rest. Dogs receive lots of attention, supervised outdoor time in a fenced playground on our front yard,walks or play sessions, and plenty of affection. Inside, they have a clean, comfortable space to rest and feel at home. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I grew up on a farm and had animals of all kinds around me. From chickens, cats, dogs, cows, pigs, horses and even lizards - you name it and I've probably helped with it! I'm currently retired and would love to hang out, go for walks and show your family member lots of attention when you aren't able to. We love dogs and live in a quiet lakeside neighborhood with the opportunity for long, lazy walks. We have a crate onsite and can crate as needed.

About: Your pets stay in a calm, cozy, home-away-from-home 💖 I have a dedicated pet room with kennels, beds, toys, TV, and a camera for constant monitoring. Hi, I’m Gigi! 🐾 I’ve been independently caring for dogs and cats since I was 18, and animals are truly my safe space. I work evenings in healthcare, so your pets get a calm, structured routine during the day and a cozy, relaxed environment at night. ✨ What makes my care different: • Dedicated pet room (beds, toys, TV, kennels) • Camera-monitored space for safety • Separate areas if needed for comfort • Calm, low-stress environment (no chaos boarding vibes) I’m experienced with multiple pets, different temperaments, and keeping routines consistent so your pet feels secure and happy 💕 I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, love, and attention to detail. I work full-time evenings (2:30pm–10:30pm) in healthcare, so mornings and late nights are dedicated to pet care. Pets get morning potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and attention before I leave, and I’m home at night for more care, walks, and wind-down time. My schedule works especially well for pets who are used to a consistent routine and overnight companionship. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home. I have a separate pet room set up with kennels, beds, toys, food and water dishes, and even a TV for comfort. I also have a camera to monitor pets while I’m at work to ensure they stay safe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, can crate if needed, and always prioritize comfort, cleanliness, and security.

About: Hi! I’m Taylor, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and I understand just how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet loves lots of attention and playtime or prefers having their own space, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention! As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness and care I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I currently work about 38 hours per week, but my schedule still gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! I work two 7-hour shifts each week, along with an additional 24 hours spread throughout the week. Since I’m regularly in the area and have free time before, after, and between my work commitments, I’m able to fit pet care into my routine easily. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule whenever possible, whether that means morning or evening visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, walks, or simply spending some extra time keeping them company. I’ll always communicate my availability ahead of time so you can feel confident that your pet will receive the time and attention they deserve! I currently rent, so I provide pet care in my clients’ homes rather than my own. I believe this can be especially helpful for pets because they’re able to stay in a familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for your pet, I’ll follow any instructions you provide and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, plenty of attention and playtime, and walks or potty breaks as needed. For cats, I’m also happy to clean litter boxes, provide enrichment and playtime, and give them space if they’re more shy or independent. Safety is very important to me. I’ll be careful with doors, leashes, gates, and anything else necessary to keep your pet secure. I’ll also respect your home and communicate with you throughout each visit. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of love while you’re away!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for dogs is truly what I love to do. I went to school to become a veterinary technician and worked in veterinary clinics for many years, giving me hands-on experience with animals in both routine and medical-care settings. I now work full-time from home for an animal rescue in Minnesota, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. With the exception of the occasional quick trip to the store or errand, I am home and available to keep your pet company, give them attention, and maintain their normal routine. My dogs definitely rule the house, and they enjoy having other dogs around to play with and keep them company. I have a dog-friendly home where visiting pups can enjoy plenty of attention and companionship. I am experienced and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I am also comfortable with pets who need a little extra care, including special diets, medications, senior care, and other medical or routine needs. Because of my veterinary and animal rescue background, I understand that every pet is different. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, needs, and preferences so they can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Your pet will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and love. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I would be happy to provide that peace of mind while you're away. I want every guest to feel right at home! To keep our household happy and comfortable, I welcome dogs under 30 lbs of all ages. For my medium and large guests, I ask that they be calm seniors who will enjoy a relaxed environment and vibe well with my resident pups I work from home during the week, so I am home with the dogs throughout the workday. I am also home on the weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide consistent care and attention. My typical day starts around 6 AM and usually winding down for bed around 10 PM. Throughout the day, the dogs receive regular attention, companionship, and care while I work. They are let outside to our fenced area for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air about every two hours, and usually even more often depending on their needs. Because I work from home, your pet will not be left alone for long periods of time. I am able to keep an eye on them throughout the day, maintain their normal routine, and give them plenty of attention and bathroom breaks. I have a fully enclosed outdoor dog area with a roof that is accessible directly from one of the doors of my home, allowing the dogs to safely go outside for potty breaks and fresh air in all types of weather. Inside, the dogs have a good size home to explore and plenty of space to relax, play, and spend time with my resident dogs. My dogs range in size from about 10 lbs to 120 lbs, so I am comfortable with dogs of many different sizes and personalities. I am happy to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any other care instructions you provide. Dogs are also welcome on the furniture in my home, so if your pup is used to lounging on the couch, they can feel right at home here! My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while maintaining the routine they are accustomed to at home.

“Amanda was great with Sammy! She has a fenced in backyard, took him outside for walks, and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. She was always quick to respond to my texts and was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Her two dogs are very friendly and Sammy seemed to very much enjoy his time with Amanda and her pups. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: As a fur mom myself and dedicated pet care provider, I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pup feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing, I'll tailor my care to their unique personality and routine. You can count on me to be dependable, patient, and attentive to your dog's needs. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, or even videos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry baby is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your dog and providing the loving care they deserve! Former children daycare provider and now staying home taking up online classes to be a Radiology Tech. Taking online classes gives me a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. Because my coursework can be completed from home and on my own schedule, I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. Pet sitting fits well with my routine, and I enjoy being able to spend quality time with animals while balancing my studies. Our home is located on a quiet farm, providing a peaceful setting where pets can relax and enjoy plenty of fresh air. I make each pet's safety and comfort my top priorities by following their normal routine for feeding, exercise, and rest. Dogs receive lots of attention, supervised outdoor time in a fenced playground on our front yard,walks or play sessions, and plenty of affection. Inside, they have a clean, comfortable space to rest and feel at home. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I grew up on a farm and had animals of all kinds around me. From chickens, cats, dogs, cows, pigs, horses and even lizards - you name it and I've probably helped with it! I'm currently retired and would love to hang out, go for walks and show your family member lots of attention when you aren't able to. We love dogs and live in a quiet lakeside neighborhood with the opportunity for long, lazy walks. We have a crate onsite and can crate as needed.
